Billy McDonald of Birmingham, Alabama, had an adventurous and dangerous career as a pilot in the Golden Age of Flight, and into World War II. He jumped from military cadet to wingman in Chennault’s famed aerobatic flying group Three Men on a Flying Trapeze. In China, he moved from instructor for the Chinese Air Force to combat pilot flying Chennault’s legendary Hawk 75 Special against the Japanese over Nanking in 1937. He began by ferrying world-famous passengers like Hemingway and high-value cargo like gold for the China National Aviation Corporation and then flew gasoline and gunpowder over The Hump (Himalayas) for Chennault’s Flying Tigers and the Chinese Army. Through it all, controversial and legendary aviator Claire Lee Chennault remained his mentor, often his boss and always his friend, indelibly shaping his life. This is the story of a remarkable career, and a man who bore witness to some of the twentieth century’s historic events and pivotal characters. Mac tells us the tale in his own words through newly-discovered photos, correspondence and manuscripts. the hump himalayas china chennault chennault’s flying tigers pilot The Hump Himalayas China Chennault Chennault’s Flying Tigers Pilot 2020-03-21T00:33:28Z 2458929.5232407 The Shadow Tiger 739 5000 0 plainlist 1 [[:Book:The Shadow Tiger]] The Shadow Tiger# QUERYc371213551181a3abc5dd4b3d115ddc4 5000 1 template 3 [[-Has subobject::Book:The Shadow Tiger]] [[URL::+]] The Shadow Tiger# QUERY236448ab88a9a8055c604dd625a86cf4 5000 1 plainlist 3 [[-Has subobject::Book:The Shadow Tiger]] [[Has Image::+]] The Shadow Tiger# QUERY58e7b13155544385bdfa32e1551414c6 5000 Book Review, The Naval Historical Foundation The Shadow Tiger# 68dbb0ec07d59f481bf425f52747dcb2 5000 Buy on Amazon The Shadow Tiger# 1e2f835d45c733c16d313f2e9cea5983
